I am flexible and creative in my approach: I use a variety of therapeutic tools to address the specific problems which a client may be experiencing. I am very supportive and accepting; I can empathize with others, having successfully worked through my own life challenges.

In my therapy “tool box” are techniques from Cognitive- Behavior therapy to help you to change or reduce those thought patterns that cause self defeating behaviors and painful emotions such as depression, anxiety and anger, Stress Reduction Techniques (Relaxation and Visualization Exercises), Expressive Therapy techniques to assist those who have difficulty expressing their emotions; I often incorporate additional new effective ways to help my clients.

I tend to “go the extra mile” for my clients if research is needed or if I need to consult with a colleague for a particularly difficult problem a client is experiencing. I have clients who have sought my help after having had difficulty finding appropriate therapy to suit their needs and concerns whether it be dealing with a hidden or “embarrassing” problem, or coping with a crisis.

Marriage Counseling

Do things seem so difficult in your relationship or your family, that there are times you just want to give up? Or are you happy with your relationship but want a better one. Do you want your relationship or family to function better so that there can be greater harmony, intimacy, satisfaction and happiness? If you don’t know how to achieve these results, I can help.

I am a caring, warm, skilled psychotherapist who is experienced in helping couples and families to achieve better communication and understanding, reduce conflict, and start working together instead of against each other. I use effective therapeutic tools from different approaches which I also teach clients to use on a self-help basis at home. While working with a couple or a family, individual therapy sessions are used when needed. I work with both traditional and non-traditional couples and families such as LGBT.
